FSX crashing with 747-8i

Featured Replies

Hi,I have done several long haul flights with the 747-8i. The addon is really fantastic and the sound is great (albeit this problem and the real weather related issues). However, at the end of each flight FSX simply crash. At the end means at either approaching the destination airport or taxing to gate. I get a windows message as shown in the attachement. . The message says (in case you can't read it): "Your computer has run out of available memory. Please restart flight simulator and select different graphics, scenery or traffic settings."I did one flight with the 747-400X duplicating a previous flight with the -8i. It did not crash. however at the end of the flight I tried to load the 747-8 and you can see what happend. My conclusion - 747-8 is causing out of memory situation in my system while this will not be true for the 400X :( My system:- Pentium dual core E6300 at 2.83G.- FSB overclocked from 266M to 300M.- 4G RAM- WINXP Home edition SP3- Nvidia 260GTX with 896M- MB Gigabyte P43-ES3GAppreciate any help in this matter.Benny_K.P.S.: I am pretty much disapointed today due to this and the real weather related issues PMDG A/C are having (or it seems like that).

Full name please, Benny.OOM errors have much written about them in many threads that you can search for. There are some work arounds but the solution is a 64 bit operating system.Weather related issues are also a common complaint but the solution is not as complete since the problem here is a very unreal wx engine in FSX/FS9. A work around is to use weather smoothing available in registered copy of FSUIPC.

I'm having the same problem,the only difference is I'm running FSX on win7x64.The crashes only happens with the 8i and 8F under the same situations,ie on approach.I found a solution by flying the 744 8i and 8F in windowed mode instead of my normal full screen mode.Alex
